I can guarantee you that Mashie did do that mod. However, Mashie is certainly not putting his best mod forward. :D Thanks for the props, and yes, it is big.

Oldie: A little more recent:

My old beater...

Just stumbled across this: http://www.unitedkeys.com/tech/index.html Enjoy :)

Mine :)

$100?, $200?? Are you kidding? I would be suprised if it sold for under $1000!

So your wife lost her job and you broke up with your girlfriend. But now you have worked things out with your girlfriend and will continue to live with her... How does your wife feel about that? ;)

For the record, the drive is battery powered, not the computer.

Just a little update on my office now that Rat Fink is up and running. I know I still owe everyone a write-up on it, but the holidays have been pretty hectic.

Heavy Metal

I meant that as a joke as I have a project with the similar name. Cheers

What a stupid name! j/k :D Nice project.

Can't have a plan without knowing what parts you are going to be using. Of course it would also have a tuned pipe and velocity stack, but the engine is a 27cc 3.5HP scooter engine. Corrugated

Just as an FYI, I have already worked up the plans to power it, and if I do at some point in the future, it will be gas powered. For now though, un-powered it shall stay.

I like the green and flame idea. :) Ok, before I show you the next pics, I wanted to warn all the gear heads that yes, I am using a fairly nice Autometer tachometer on my computer. It is amazing how much flaming I got for doing that on Heavy Metal. I was a little undecided about the...

Typing too fast. :)

Thanks everyone :) Hey Crimson, long time! I have completed some basics like mounting the case, the wing, exhaust, Rat Fink, and removing and cleaning up the grill in the back. Still have a tone of work ahead, but I think it is coming together nicely. I have a pair of lighted aluminum...

Here is couple of pics of some of the parts being used: Rat Fink Rear exhaust (I'll take a better pic once the fan is in place and its polished): Tachometer controller. I was hoping that the tach and aluminum fan would arrive today, but it looks like next week for those...

Not too far off from what I have planned.

It has come time to embark on another mod that was started many months ago, but will begin coming together soon. The project began as I was winding down on project Heavy Metal. After I converted Heavy Metal to R\C, I had a left over chassis that I really didn't want to pitch. After pondering...

Awesome work as always!

I want one!!!!!

Earlier this year I was asked to do a demonstration at the local high school for their engineering and comp sci classes. I spent a good part of the day tearing heavy metal around the school and terrifying students and teachers. It was a blast. The kids seem to get a big kick out of it also.

14+ years old and still kickin' :D

I am running 1920 x 1200 with the custom settings and it works great. As far as the custom resolutions showing up in the list... mine don't. Running high detail with 2x AA and my imagecache set to 256 and the game plays super smooth.

1920 X 1200 on a Sony SDM-P232W/B 23" LCD using a XFX 6800 Ultra: High Quality at 2X AA: 1st pass 39.3 2nd pass 44.1 Looks incredible and plays great. Specs here. p.s. seta r_customHeight "1200" seta r_customWidth "1920" seta r_mode "-1"

Haven't hear of that one yet. The big one I have been hearing about is: seta image_cacheMegs "32" Setting it to a higher amount of memory provides a large boost. Depending on how much memory you have, I have heard of people taking all the way up to 512 and still realizing increases.

Keep in mind those pictures are over 6 months old. All the hardware, including the stuff you don't see, is now packed away. I had actually forgotten about it until this thread started, but am still way too busy to take on a new project right now. Back on topic: I bet if you give the...

You know Blananar, you are a bad influence. All this talk about RC computers has me thinking about a project I shelved about 6 months ago... So, just for the record, I HATE YOU Blananar!!! :D

18HP and 480ft/lbs of torque. It can pull a car behind itself if it gets enough traction. Run time is about 30 minutes to an hour depending on load.

SFF. The bigger the case the bigger the power requirements, the bigger the expense. p.s. The Machine Lab

Oooohhhh... the possibilities :D

I can certainly help with the mechanical, elecrical, modeling, etc..., once you determine the general concept. Do you know yet if you are sticking with tracks?

I would have to agree with that if you have no or little experience with RC, moving into this class of RC building can be intimidating. Not to mention the potential extra costs if something breaks *cough*speed controllers*cough*.

Video of Heavy Metal Who says RC cars are more fun. :D Not to mention... Admittedly, it was more fun in person...

A couple of comments regarding ramps and the project. I have found through personal experience that brakes are essential. Most speed controllers sold through the robot marketplace have the ability to electronically brake. I added switches so I had the option of turning them on and off...

If you have any questions regarding the bot part, feel free to ask. The robot marketplace is an excellent source for parts. The individual companies are also very willing to assist you with any questions you have. p.s. trailers don't work well with skid type steering.
